Hello, I recently learned that the Google Ads click_view <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v13/click_view#click_view.user_list> resource contains access to campaign and ad_group attributes. Such that, the following is a valid query:
""" SELECT click_view.gclid, campaign.id, campaign.name, ad_group.id, ad_group.name, click_view.ad_group_ad, click_view.keyword_info.match_type, click_view.keyword FROM click_view WHERE segments.date = '2023-05-15' AND click_view.gclid = 'some_gclid_here_mehh' """ This is an amazing resource, and completely changes the game for me. I can look up individual GCLIDs and retrieve the campaign, ad_group, ad, keyword, and even some location data? This is an order of magnitude better than attributing traffic with UTMs. Rather than throwing UTMs into the wild-west that is modern day browsers and hoping for the best as visitors navigate around, its now possible to just log the GCLID and query for the necessary bits of data from server-side. Wow. My thing with this though is that the documentation DOES NOT state that this should be possible. I check the documentation for click_view and I don't see anything stating that it is exposed to the `campaign` and `ad_group` attributes. So, can we be sure that this isn't some fluke? Will this functionality eventually be removed? Or is it safe to develop on top of this with the expectation that it's going to stick around? I know you can only query for one day at a time, but that also seems like it's hardly an issue. In theory, we can pull an entire days (yesterdays) GCLIDs every day and store the data for 7 days or so. If we get any conversions, we can cross reference the conversion's GCLID with our 7-day datastore of GCLIDs. Is this allowed, as far as Google is concerned? Thanks for answered. I'm eager to hear back. -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum" group.
